Catalina

Catalina has been a favorite destination of yatchmen since the turn of the century. Go for a stroll along the breezy old boardwalk. Or enjoy a cup of cappuccino in a sunny sidewalk cafe. You'll delight in the islands quaint, storybook architecture, and in its colorful atmosphere.

Join an exploration of Catalina Island's coastline onboard a motorized rigid-hull inflatable raft. There is a good chance you'll encounter the island's bald eagles, harbor seals, sea lions, red tail hawks and other local wildlife. View Long Point, Italian Gardens, Goat Harbor, and Rippers Cove. Then continue two to three miles offshore in search of dolphins during the ride back to Avalon.
